I hope we wind up with the best case, which would be the collapse of the regime followed by the return of Reza Pahlavi.
I'd rather not consider the worst case, because I imagine it's global in scope.

- thomassmith65 1y agoThat doesn't make any sense in this context. The failed, theocratic pariah state that is Iran, was the result, in part, of 'Western destabilization'. It will be more like an 'undo' when the Iranian people finally overthrow the regime.

- cherry_tree 1y agoIf the Iranian people overthrow the regime I agree; that’s not what you are saying though. You are suggesting that Israel should overthrow the regime. You must understand from the last 20+ years of history that this would not be productive.
- thomassmith65 1y agoYou are suggesting that Israel should overthrow the regime. My conception of how Iranians would overthrow their government doesn't involve Israeli soldiers invading Iran, or a full-fledged war. My hope is, given the precarious state that Iran already is in, that an expensive and embarrassing failure - such as the destruction of its nuclear facilities - might be the final straw. I agree that a regime change could turn out to be a disaster, but if Pahlavi is as prepared for the event as he claims, then it could be fantastic.
